What AviaGames Is All About: Games, Growth, and Giving Back

AviaGames is a mobile gaming company founded in 2016 by CEO Vickie Chen and Co-founder Ping Wang, built around the idea of creating games that are easy to pick up and enjoyable to return to. If you enjoy card games, bingo games, or pool games, you’ll recognize familiar formats, reimagined for a more dynamic and engaging experience that fits into everyday play.

Across titles like Solitaire Clash, Bingo Tour, and 8 Ball Strike, the focus is on simplicity paired with depth. Players can jump into free solitaire games or explore skill-based competitions, including cash games, where performance determines outcomes. The experience is designed to feel consistent and seamless, whether playing casually or aiming for a more competitive session.

As the company continues to grow, AviaGames has expanded its presence within the gaming industry. At GDC 2026, the company made its first official appearance, joining partners PayPal and Meta to discuss advancements in payment experiences that strengthen player trust, along with strategies for sustainable growth.

AviaGames has also expanded into academic collaborations to deepen its understanding of gameplay and player behavior. In partnership with Duke University, research explores how skill-based mobile games like Solitaire Clash can support cognitive engagement, including attention, decision-making, and motivation, particularly among older players, with a Duke University engineering Product Lab team conducting student-led interviews and analysis through May 2026. In addition, AviaGames has partnered with the UC San Diego Rady School of Management, where students work on hands-on projects focused on player engagement, product strategy, and market analysis, contributing practical insights into the evolving mobile gaming experience.

Beyond gameplay, the company is committed to community impact. Initiatives like Play for Paws have contributed over $220,000 to the Nevada SPCA, while Wonderland Wishes, created in partnership with Foster Love, raised $136,000 to support foster youth.
